Makeup (2023) Is A Must-Watch For Indie Fans

Makeup served as Andre’s feature directorial debut, and its heartfelt message makes it a must-watch for fans of the indie genre. The story follows French food critic, Sacha, who rents a room from a London stockbroker. Although the two have contrasting personalities, Dan seeks solace in his new tenant and opens up about his dream of becoming a successful burlesque dancer.

Masheter and Andre both give breathtaking performances, as they display a quiet vulnerability that is often overpowered and difficult to capture in big-budget films. Their emotions can be felt through the screen, elevating the production and bringing the film to unforeseen depths. Makeup was released on June 27, 2023, and is currently available to stream on digital.

Ahead of his first feature, Andre directed shorts such as Soul Forest, Muse, and Blind Innocence. Meanwhile, Ferrara has served as a producer on over 150 projects, including the non-narrative animated feature, 5000 Space Aliens. Given the result of Andre and Ferrara’s previous collaboration, it’s likely that Happy as Larry will be a one-of-a-kind story full of heart.
